A cozy holiday romance built on the classic enemies-to-lovers formula, where a single mother and her gruff neighbor discover warmth and connection beneath their initial conflict.

A hard-working, single mom gets into a war of words with a neighbor who she feels is ruining Christmas, only to find that this misunderstood grouch just may steal her heart.
